Temporal comparison of genetics parameter estimates for the Highlands-Glades subpopulation of Florida black bears in south-central Florida, USA, based on 12 microsatellite markers.

We estimated allelic richness (AR), observed heterozygosity (HO), expected heterozygosity (HE), effective number of breeders (NB), effective population size (NE), and inbreeding coefficient (FIS) from 12 microsatellites for bears sampled during 2004–2005 and 2010–2012. Confidence intervals (95%) are presented in parentheses and n corresponds to sample size.
